If you want to learn an ancient game that is simple, surprisingly deep and entirely down to skill, try Go.

>>19214
How about Nine Men's Morris?

>>19228
You need evens for Morris, m8.

>>19214

Snakes and Ladders is better.

>>19295
Hey, so do I. Or rather, I did. The game's a massive rig-killer, so I'll wait until I get a better one before jumping back in.

>>19280

Should nay fucken' run at shites wha' got tha' guns, daft pricks.

Doubly so when there's a swamp in the way. Oh, those silly Scotch, and about to make the same mistake come autumn.

I thought I was being clever but history repeats.

I have a rule about not buying early access, but in the three and a half years when the creator has finally moved past version 0.999... then I'll probably pick this up.

I like that Darth guy too, no one else has let me kill quite so many Spaniards. His Napoleon mod is alright too! Hahey!

>>19285

I don't see there being much wrong with the idea of independence. The prospect of a government that hasn't spent the last 50 years covering up paedophiles in cabinet is rather alluring, so I'm voting yes.

Having our own All-Gold Olympic team is just a juicy bonus.

Anyway, I digress.

>>19290

He has said that early access will last 30-40 days, it started around the 20th of last month and basically all that needs going in is multiplayer and the odd patches.

I am downloading it now, was meaning to try it out.

>>19074

It's been a lovely, sunny day, video game types don't like that sort of thing. The smell of BBQ's, the sounds of laughter, bloody glare, it's a right pin to the urethra when you're trying to level grind.

Pin.To.The.Urethra.

>>19080
You've been reading too much Crossed lad.

>>19081

It's weird I'm a minority in finding comic-ised snuff films being so popular, umm, weird.

>>19083
I thought they were just shitty.
Horsecock was funny though.

Hurrah, I leave this place for one day and miss yet another fifty-post cunt-off, and all because some prick has difficulty accepting the twin realities that demanding payment for something that's already been paid for is a cunt's trick, and hardware-accurate emulation is so fucking hard sometimes it's cheaper to just put the guts of what you're emulating inside the box.

Never change, .gs. Never change.

>>18278
That's awesome.

I tried this. I spent about ten minutes wandering around a forest trying to find anything while my character complained about being hungry, found a village with some food, he became hungry after a minute or two no matter how much veg I ate. I found a pitchfork, a crossbow and some ammunition. He complained about having a stomach ache. That was about it.

>>18717

Did you ever consider looking at a map, or perhaps following the roads?

>>18851
I had map? There were no roads until I found the village.

does .gs like cozy overpoch servers?

I thought this for about 6 months. They really needed a similar TV advertising campaign in the UK to what they did with the Wii.

Speaking of PS3, I just realised I've never checked my message inbox. I just checked it now, and found my first bit of hate mail. I feel quite proud.

>>18648
If you ever play an online FPS even slightly well you'll get loads of shitlords hatemailing you.

This one time I was playing Black Ops (don't judge - I bought it for the zombies. Mostly.) and I somehow stumbled into a glitch where my character didn't die when he should have and just kept running about like the goddamn terminator. Naturally the match soon became me stabbing enemies whilst they emptied machine guns and rocket launchers into me (sometimes even killing themselves with the explosion - but not me). The amount of 'wtf hax' hatemail was golden. One guy even had genuine hacks and offered to boost my character for the 'secret'.

>>18649

It is bad on Fifa. So many sore losers and winners, so I stopped playing.

The most rage that I've had in a single exchange was from a guy on MW2, though. I'm not one to use the this kind of vernacular but "CoDbabbies" seems to fit most of the userbase.

>>18649
>>18650
The best hatemail comes from playing Demon's/Dark Souls. I think because there is some weird expectation of honour, and if you don't bow before duelling with the person you've invaded it's considered poor form.

The hatemail I got was from my first and so far only online match on JoJo's Bizarre Adventure All Star Battle. Apparently I'm a "spamig bitch", even though the most popular character's fighting style is based pretty much solely around spamming punches.

>>18632

That seems like a very accurate dipiction of an average day in Americana. Also give me a bloody time code.

Dyslexi is better.

>>18596
I wouldn't play Eve for 30 days if you paid me £200. I'd want something more akin to the wage of a decent accountant. It's about as interesting as accounting.

Played solidly for 6 years, flunked my final year of uni because of it. Now i think its boring and shit.

gg life

I remember watching some YT videos on EVE years back and thought it looked like good fun. Managed to get myself sent an invite and downloaded/loaded it all up.

I think I played for about 10 minutes before deciding that there were too many buttons and too many menus.

They've changed their PS3 Dust game to become a lot more like what people have posted here regarding the menu on the left. I've found it a lot more complicated to use from how it was originally and stopped playing.

I am a bit of a simpleton, in fact, my 'friends' cruelly call me 'Simple Tim' because my name is Timothy but I just felt like there was nothing intuitive about it.

Still, have enjoyed looking at the pictures in this thread and reading a bit about it all again.

>>18625
No, it isn't only you who is simple. I gave it 30 minutes and I never played it again.

>>18626
You could say the same about dwarf fortress though, and I've played that for god knows how many hours.

>>18544
> and have to ride on a special coach at the back of the trains so you don't disrupt the machines.
Mage's Caboose. And once I hit Magic Aptitude 100, the conductor told me to sod off.
> so magic is quite overpowered
Dark Necromancy is. With MA = 100 and the Harm spell you can cut through enemies like a hot knife through butter. Even in real-time mode. Just be sure to stock up on fatigue restorers.
> Makes for a different experience every time.
Make a stupid character and annoy the constable in the first village.

I tried playing Arcanum and I fucking hated it, I am so frustrated right now because of it.

>>18599
I'm glad I'm not the only one. I wanted to like it so much but it was awful to play.

>>18599
Why?

>>18603

The UI was confusing and horrible and I couldn't fight anything. Also the lack of auto-save was annoying, I'm too used to it nowadays and kept having to restart after dying.

>>18501
A lot of it is down to the custom OS and drivers. Consoles tend to use the hardware more efficiently, because there's less background programmes running.

No longer needs the Kinect. New SKU for 350 quid.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-27396499

Exactly the same amount they were peddling the original for with Titanfall bundled a few weeks ago.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-04-11-amazon-asda-drop-titanfall-xbox-one-bundle-to-349

Is there anything that Microsoft hasn't back-pedalled on relating to the Xbox One?

>>18584

How underwhelming it is compared to the previous consoles?

>>18584
Thats the Kinect buggered again then. Why should anyone make an effort if a large majority dont even have the device?

>>18584
That happened faster than expected.

>>18354

So I pre-ordered myself a copy on Steam, and got another for no specific reason, maybe trading.
Well now I'm skint and want to sell it, anyone interested? A lot cheaper of course.

Anyway, I'm hyped as fuck, the first is the only game I had pre-ordered and instantly became my most favourite after playing it.
Tried not to read anything about it but had a little peek and am just more excited about the things I've heard, how it's a proper sequel like they're meant to be made.

>>18374
How much are we talking here, pal o' mine?

Well there's a lot of buzzwords like unmemorable bosses, soulless etc, but I think they've done a fantastic job and am loving the shit out of it, maybe even more than the first.

I think its a bit of a slow burner. It took me a while to enjoy Dark Souls and each new area was punishing.

I have a similar feeling with this game now. I've yet to complete it and I'm currently drudging through the underground section after Drangleic castle. Dark Souls was a lot more enjoyable for me when I had an idea of how the game plays out and I could plan my route or what items to pick up. I know there are some NG+ additions which should be something to look forward to.

>>18458

I also literally cannot wait, which is why I'm currently playing it in order to practise my skills so that I can more fully enjoy the new release.

Also, I only had time to install linux on my laptop and it's the only game I can play atm. Lucky I did have like five spare hours in which to compile the necessary files needed to run it and dwarf therapist.

>>18463

God yeah, I had a serious palaver trying to get it to work on Ubuntu, probably shouldn't have used that as my introduction to Linux though.

I've been playing a bit more recently in anticipation but it eats up time, also I have been checking for updates every single day.

Soon

>>18463
>I'm currently playing it in order to practise my skills so that I can more fully enjoy the new release.

You might find your efforts in vien. In the past Toady has changed key aspects of the game that literally made 'practice' obsolete. I think it was the 2012 update that overhauled the way military worked and was controlled (there were a few others too which I forget).

I find it pretty difficult to make sense of Toady's updates so I don't really know whats in store for the next release. The only thing I know about is the changes to trees, which I'm obviously looking forward to (I prefer building above ground wooden forts).

>>18495

Fair point, as I understand it, this release is pretty major, with huge changes to the game from the roots up, lots of interactions, social changes, the new trees, new combat system. It's going to be damn good.

I imagine old saves will not be compatible either.

>>18496
>I don't really know whats in store for the next release
I was half expecting ridicule at my willingness to tell you how to do things while at the same time expressing no understanding of the matter.
Any practise is practise.
Forgive me, please.

>>18355
Solid ages prematurely

>>18340
The voice is a little strange. According to Hideo he's meant to sound older than previous incarnations of Snake though that doesn't explain how Old Snake sounded better than that with Hayter.

Still, the game looks amazing in my view. Genuinely the only game trailer I've seen that makes me want to get an Xbone or PS4 (I'm still not going to but before I had absolute zero interest).

>>18357

That's a genetic disorder, not actual aging. Snake and Big Boss spent very different lives.

that is all

Wot a lad is are snake.
